she looks real good... i have a hand full at my folks place out of simmi cows i haven't seen since first of March - they looked good then with lots of bone and hair and length, moderate birthweights - 85- 95 pounds; i will see them in about 2 weeks before they go to grass and will get some pics then.. not to hijack the post - anyone else have some Style calves?

Out of 5 that we had we didn't have one over 81 pounds. I wonder if some of the birth weight came from the simmental mommas.
the one bull that was ~93# was out of cow that could have some birthwegith, otherwise all the rest were out of cows with very slim chances of throwing birthweight... don't get me wrong i think 80-90# is fine by me, but the old man got scared about using him this year on some heifers because of one was 93# and he is an unproven bull, but i used him again this year on some cows and hope to see how he does again.
and look forward to seeing some other folk's calves

I'll be able to let you know how the heifers do bred to him around January. I've bred two to him so far.

We have some calves that are very nice calves ,he might work on heifers because if I critized him is need more power ..As far as breeding him to heifers the E161 kinda worried me a little bit ....One of the SP MEMBERS an I talked about mating him to 4200 daughters or some of the SAV cattle .....

The heifer calf looks great! We had one Style ET heifer calf this year out of a TC Grid Topper 355 dam who has a little extra BW. The recip was a 1700# Simmi cross cow and spit out the 84# heifer calf like passing gas. She looks great. Will try to get a picture of her if the weather ever straightens out.

Thanks for the nice comments! I've got another Style daughter out of a Freedom dam That looks really good. I don't know if she really fits the mainstream Angus deal that well but she'll jackpot with the best of them.

I think that is how you have to mate him. Let the cow supply the bone and thickness and let him fancy them up.
